Abstract

Infrastructure is not merely about physical objects, but also a physical articulation of the uneven distribution of power and the struggles for it. Emphasising the heterogeneous nature of a socio-technical system, electricity infrastructure in this research is viewed as a terrain preserved in the meeting and contesting of various actors during the process of urbanisation of a touristic town in China, writes Jiechen Liu
